Its amazing how many people take advice from folks without any credibility to them. Just reading through some blogs and reader comments, I am baffled at why we would even solicit advice ranging from stock picks to career advice when clearly the blogger wasn't even at a point we'd call successful. Much of their advice seems to be regurgitated from other finance blogs or articles.

Mind you, I don't pretend to be the oracle of personal finance, but I do know enough to know that I am a baby at this game. No one should really consider me an expert and I had hoped these finance bloggers would provide that disclaimer themselves.

Check out this wise things blog. Its written by a young lady who has less net worth and experience than many folks her age and yet she's spouting out advice at a blog a day. Ridiculous. Would you take medical advice from your resident kanto boy? You get my point.

At some point, I'll be answering some reader mail but I'll limit my answers to things I have had personal experience from.

Caveat lector--let the reader beware!

Jun AnatalioThis is the story of my journey towards financial independence. My coming decade and a half of blood, sweat and tears in order to break free of the yoke of having to live from paycheck to paycheck toiling away for 40, 50, nay 60! hours a week just to pay the bills and take vacations with the family. The next 15 years will be fraught with many, many financial decisions of which I plan to navigate thru the best way I can and and at the same time, slice off a sizeable percentage of my income towards saving for retirement. I am Jun Anatalio, a 36 year old call center professional that has decided to take his fate into his own hands and venture to retire in 15 years from today. My hope is that whoever gets to read this can share in the pain and joy of becoming a millionaire the slow and difficult way. PS.
